Obviously it's better over there then here, because they spell things out all the way. So as I bow off, stage right, I'd like to give a hand to Jerry for putting the mate back in ultimate.

Cease! Desist! Move on you Miscreants!
Because I am a poor excuse for a messenger of Tacoma ultimate related things, Jerry is taking those reins away from me. He's set up another blog that should see much more in the way of updating then this one. In fact, I'd venture to say that it will see infinity percent more activity. So if you feel like keeping up on things that are happening in Tacoma ultimate, I'd suggest you meander over to

Saturday Pickup - May 30th
A quick note about possible numbers on Saturday. It appears that DiscNW has scheduled Spring League playoffs to occur this Saturday and Sunday. The folks on Rainmakers have a game up in Seattle on Saturday for this reason, so attendance might be sparse. If you plan on attending, leave your mark in the comments, or at the bottom of this post (using the Definitely, Definitely Not, Maybe buttons).

Memorial Day Pickup
Hey folks! If one were to live in a bunker in some country whose name ends with a -stan, you might not realize that this upcoming Monday is the Memorial Day holiday. No work + good weather = one hell of a nice day to try and get a game together. As we tend to do around these parts, we're throwing together an impromptu pickup game on the holiday with some post game BBQ action. Details as such:
Time: 2pm
Location:
Jefferson Elementary School
4302 N. 13th Street
Tacoma, WA
Bring a light and a dark, and any other bits and pieces that you think you might need. You can use the comments or the Definitely, Definitely Not, Definitely Maybe links at the bottom if you'd like to let folks know you're coming. Or maybe you're a ninja, and like the element of surprise on your side. Sneaksome...
Also, in terms of general pickup news, Saturdays roaming field experiment comes to a close. Apparently not a good move. So we're switching back to a fixed location. And to make things easier, that fixed location will be the same place as Tuesday and Thursday pickup. Times and location are on the side bar.
And you can also follow the TacomaUlti twitter feed for news and such.

Saturday Pickup Update
An update! For Saturday pickup we have a roving field schedule. To help with the communication process, I've also set up a Twitter account to send an update once we settle on a field. If you're interested in getting the update, start following tacomaulti. I'll send a tweet with the field name when I find the first open field.
As a note for this upcoming Saturday (5/2), the Rainmakers folks do have a four game Sunday, so a number of those folks might not be present. This would be one of those weeks where it would be useful to use the Definitely, Definitely Not, and Maybe links to let folks know if you'll be there.

Pickup Schedule
Tuesdays, Thursdays
Pickup on Tuesdays and Thursdays is currently at Jefferson Elementary (4302 N. 13th). People start showing up around 4:45pm to throw, and games start around 5:30pm.
Saturdays
Pickup on Saturdays is a bit trickier. In pursuit of better fields, we're going to start a bit of roving. We have a handful of fields that we'd like to play on. The goal is to avoid the ankle-breaking extravaganza that is the Professional Development Center field, while retaining enough space for two games if we get enough folks out. We'll still use PDC if the other fields are occupied, but there are three other locations that we'll check first. The order to check would be:
1) Mason Middle School Turf Field (3901 N 28th St)
2) Wilson High School Fields (1202 N Orchard St)
3) Truman Middle School Football Field (5801 N 35th St)
4) Professional Development Center (2301 N Vassault)
If you have questions or comments about the rotation, feel free to post.

A Slight Change
With the weather turning towards the better half of the spectrum, the ever wise Jerry thought it would be good to make a change in the format of posts for the spring/summer. From now until some time in the future, we're going to assume that we'll have enough folks out to play every week. As such, we won't ask you to respond as you whether or not you'll make it (because that was more a means of letting folks know that things might be scarce during the winter).
Instead, I'll throw a post up today with the details of the pickup games (and also make sure the sidebar is up to date), and will only post throughout the summer if there's some sort of event during a particular weekend that might pull a number of folks away (typically this would correspond to tournaments). When I do make one of those posts, that's when you can all jump in and comment if you're interested in seeing whether there will be enough folks still around to make the trip out to the field worthwhile.
